David Beckham Gets Gold-Plated iPod for 100th Game

Gold-plated iPod Touch for Beckham.

When you really want to let someone know you care, what's the gift that says it all? How about an iPod? How about a personally inscribed iPod? How about a gold-plated, personally inscribed iPod?

That's what English soccer great and current Los Angeles Galaxy player David Beckham received from his mates on the English national soccer team after participating in his 100th game with the club following a friendly match with the blokes from the French national team in Paris.

It's a mark of honor, really, to do a hundred of anything, and the gadget hounds at Switched applaud the squad from England for pooling together to get the 32-year-old Beckham this special iPod Touch, valued at 600 British pounds, which comes out to about $1,196 in U.S. hard currency.
